⚠ If you were already connected to GitHub, please sign in again after this update — a bug in previous versions caused expired sessions to go undetected, which is now fixed, but your stored session may already be stale.

⚠ Sign in with GitHub — strongly recommended — almost everything RHI downloads comes from GitHub: ReShade, RenoDX, OptiScaler, DLSS versions, shader packs, Luma mods, manifests, update checks, and more. Without a GitHub account connected, all of this shares a single limit of 60 requests per hour. That quota runs out fast, and when it does, downloads silently fail — installs abort, update checks are skipped, and staging shows as unavailable with no obvious reason why. Signing in raises the limit to 5,000 requests per hour.

To connect: open Settings → GitHub API and click Sign in with GitHub. Takes about 30 seconds. Or paste a Personal Access Token (PAT) — no scopes needed, just generate one at github.com/settings/tokens and paste it in.

v2.8.7

New

OptiScaler F5 DLSSNR

• Added F5 DLSSNR as a new OptiScaler variant, available in the OptiScaler ⚙ cog version selector alongside Stable, Nightly, and DLSS NR.
• Based on janblade's fork with multi-pass Neural Rendering support and a bundled NR forwarder (nvngx.dll_dlssnr.dll). Requires a separately staged nvngx_dlssnr.dll runtime (same as the DLSS NR variant).
• Auto-updates alongside other OptiScaler variants and appears in the update history.

Changes

OptiScaler Settings

• Added a note in the OptiScaler ⚙ cog above the Deploy OptiScaler.ini button clarifying that settings in the cog apply in real time and the deploy button is only for seeding a fresh ini — it does not write the configured settings.

Bug Fixes

OptiScaler Nightly

• Fixed nightly builds not auto-updating to newer builds when the update check cooldown was active. The available builds list is now checked at startup and on every refresh, and update detection no longer depends on the update check running first.
• Fixed clicking Update on a nightly game installing the old build instead of downloading the new one. The install flow now always downloads the latest nightly when an update is flagged, and re-resolves the staging directory after download.
• The Info button and version number on the OptiScaler row now link to the nightly GitHub page and releases when the Nightly variant is active.

RTX Encore

• Fixed RTX Encore not auto-updating when a new beta release was available. The update check is now wired into the standard component update flow and the update appears in the update history.

ReShade Screenshot Discord Fix

• Fixed the 32-bit addon not being deployed to 32-bit games. When downloading from GitHub releases, RHI now stages both the .addon32 and .addon64 files when both are available as release assets.

OptiScaler Detection

• Fixed tools that reference OptiScaler internally (e.g. SCSKiller) being incorrectly detected as an OptiScaler installation. The binary signature scan now only runs when the file has no version resource — if the file clearly identifies itself as a different tool, it is no longer flagged as OptiScaler.
